Go-To Dinners
DH is sick and I have finals this week, so all week dinners are going to be quick and easy. Figured this would be a chance to share our go-to dinners to see if I could add a few new ones to our list!
Re: Go-To Dinners
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Hamburgers and Busch's Baked Beans
Indian Burgers and Sweet Potato fries (Both from TJ's)
Oven Baked Chicken Fingers with frozen veggies
Pasta with jarred sauce
Oven Baked Cod with Frozen Veggies and maybe cornbread
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese with Stewed Tomatoes (not as quick, but worth the time investment)
spaghetti
salmon patties
breakfast for dinner
grilled cheese & tomato soup
PeiWei, Showmars, Moe's, McAllisters (pick up for dinner)
rotisserie chicken from the grocery
baked potato with something on the grill (chicken, steak, chops)
taco salad
I need more quick and easy. I love to make chicken pot pie, but it really is pretty labor intensive--I'll usually make it in advance and then bake it when we want to eat it. What's nice about the pot pie is that while it's baking you can do other things.
I like baked ziti too, but that too isn't terribly "quick", but it is easy.
grilled chicken + rice + steamfresh veggie
fajitas
tacos
enchiladas
stir fry w/ chicken & rice
gnocchi w/ tomato sauce & chicken
penne al vodka w/ chicken
cheesy chicken, broccoli, & rice casserole
biscuity chicken pot pie ish thing
Do you have a recipe or link for this one??
I think it was originally bensbride's recipe:
2 cups water, boiling
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
fake chicken parmesean:
I take a regular shake and bake packet, add italian seasonings to it (whatever I have on hand) and some parm cheese- shake a couple chicken breasts and bake them, top with some jar spaghetti sauce and more cheese and bake for another couple mins- serve over spaghetti and jarred sauce- easy, tasty and pretty hearty!
I second the "fake chicken parmesan". I make this all the time.
Also, tomato gravy with biscuits and bacon is a good, quick meal - especially if you use Mary B's Frozen Biscuits - the absolute best quick biscuits!
Another one that I'm in a really big hurry is shrimp and pasta - use pre-cooked, frozen shrimp (thaw by running under cold water for 3-5 minutes) and Knorr Pasta Sides (Alfredo/Broccoli or Garlic Shells are really good for this). Throw the shrimp in when you have about 1 minute left until the pasta is done. This whole meal only takes about 15 minutes! Serve with garlic bread or Bisquick's Garlic Cheddar Biscuits.
